Presentation Description:

This session focuses on two influential laws driving the current data privacy agenda for organizations large and small. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies broadly to any organization that processes personal data about folks in the European Union. The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), passed shortly after GDPR went into effect, defines similar data protection obligations for for-profit entities who process personal data about California residents. Both laws have wide-reaching effects due to their scope. Organizations that worked towards compliance with GDPR may be able to leverage those same processes to enable the rights defined in CCPA.
